Indeed, some of the columns you'll notice do sort correctly numerically, like 
the "z" column in your table.  It's just when columns contain non-numbers like 
NaN.

Looks like a reasonably easy pull request since Tom already showed how to 
approach it (just need to add a custom sort method to dataTable in the 
javascript), if anyone has been looking for a contribution to make to Astropy...
